Is Russ going to be involved in this?

According to TotalRock.com, FIGHT, the band formed by Rob Halford after he left JUDAS PRIEST, are planning to release a DVD. The disc will reportedly include live footage shot around the time of the band's first album, 1993's "War of Words". There's even talk of the original FIGHT line-up getting back together to record a couple of new songs for the project. FIGHT split up after their second album, "A Small Deadly Space", was released in 1994.

I called Scott, and he didn't know a thing about it.

It's probably John Baxter, stirring up publicity, since none of the other guys are probably getting paid a dime for it.

The music business sucks big time.

Somehow I figured as much. I also think with Rob's work schedual in Priest he wouldn't have time to revive FIGHT. Don't get me wrong, FIGHT was amazing but really this kind of hype only works when you have the whole engine behind it.

I was in the Biz for about 11 years, yes it does suck big time!

I could be wrong here, but knowing how Russ feels about that band, I highly doubt it.
But don't quote me.

I won't quote you :-)

how does Russ feel about the band?

I'm not going to put words in Russ's mouth...but I'm pretty sure it's not so much the band/music...but MANAGEMENT.

I've heard stories from Scott....Horrific.

cool Ive never talked to him but I wouldnt want to ask him about anything that he would uncomfortable with. You hear so many horror stories about bad management its not surprising.

Yup...Pretty horrific. Musicians bust balls...and 3 piece suit man...takes the money.
